Some might infer something about the fans from this.

Not me, of course. According to the Summer Music Preview issue of EW, after Kelly Clarkson's

performance on the Idol Gives Back charity show last month, one message boarder dubbed her "Mama Cass."

Apparently they thought she was a bit hippy.

This is Kelly Clarkson backstage during that show...

...and this is Mama Cass on the cover of a Mamas and the Papas album.
